The author is a lazy journalist repeating some news which is not even accurate and rumours. Anyone can go around picking up names and saying this person in Christian and they are demanding this and that. Creating hysteria. Once it was the Jews, the black community, the Irish and now its the turn of Muslims. There are extreme people in all walks of life but it doesn't mean they represent all others front hat faith. Muslims and the Jewish community are both under attack for our slaughter methods. Whilst these inaccurate articles cause a divide it's important to see the agenda of trying to attack us by getting to our diet.

Dont panic. As a person of muslim fate you are worried. Dont be. If you aint done any of those examples in that article then there is no problem with you. Problem is with criminals who came from abroad to abuse innocent people of another country.

A correction. Saw your facebook. You are all in about halal food everywhere. Ok thats kind of a fair game in middle-east but here in Europe dream on girly. Special ritual torture-slaughter of animals to accuire such food is too much of a 15 century barbarity for us, Europeans.Pssst. As a sidenote we live in a 21 century here wink wink. Its about 600 years of mental advancment and progress girly wink wink. So there you have it. The cultural differences between people 🙂

Allan K Thanks for your comments. Yes, focus is to get some facts out about slaughter which includes mainstream too. We may have moved on in years but some of the modern systems are far from perfect on the grounds of animal welfare. Islam is a progressive faith and pro use of technology. There are too many things to list but the faith may be 15,00 old but somethings science or mental advancement can still not beat. Back to slaughter if done properly there isn't much difference between pre-stun and religious methods as per some halal(80% plus slighter is similar to mainstream methods) and kosher.
